After their frontman was found guilty of multiple, horrifying pedophilia charges, Lostprophets unsurprisingly disbanded. Since then, there have been rumors that Geoff Rickly (of Thursday fame) would be joining the former members in a new project. In an interview with Radio Cardiff, Rickly addressed the rumors. He says that although he will not be a member of the band, he is working with them as a part of Collect Records (his record label). The band does not have a name as of yet, but Rickly describes their music as "a little bit of New Order, a little bit of Joy Division, a little bit of the Cure." The full interview can be streamed below.

Well at least they're starting to get their careers back on track after what happened. Felt sorry for them as it did look as if their entire careers were finished after the whole Watkins thing but they're getting a chance to rebuild and not let one man's abhorrent actions ruin their livelihoods too.

The Fake Sound of Progress ruled back in the day. They can write a good tune or two (both the title track and "And she Told me to Leave" are STILL great tracks). Hopefully something decent will come of this.
